Fliss is one of the main charcters with her best friend Lisa, there are some boys which are in there to, I would say that they are likable because I liked them.

Planning for each session includes vocabulary to discuss, a section to read, discussion questions and an independent response task. Room 13 was really good book. I know I am lil bit older for this book but reading kid's book is always fun, and recently I been fond of them Robert Swindells was born in Bradford in 1939, the eldest of five children. He left the local Secondary Modern School at fifteen to work as a copy holder on the local newspaper. At seventeen he enlisted in the RAF and served for three years, two in Germany. On being discharged he worked as a clerk, engineer and printer until 1969 when he entered college to train as a teacher having obtained five 'O' levels at night-school. His first book ' When Darkness Comes' was written as a college thesis and published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1972. In 1980 he gave up teaching to write full time. He likes travelling and visits many schools each year, talking and reading stories to children. He is the secutatry of his local Peace Movement group. Brother in the Land is his first book for Oxford University Press. He is married with two grown-up daughters and lives in Bradford.This is really cute little book, despite it being a "horror". A horror for children, of course. I wasn't wholly convinced by the dialogue, and I am sadly a bit too old to really care for the storyline, but it was utterly charming to be completely transported. Whitby is almost a second home to me and I was walking down every street and entering every single shop with these children on their little holiday. Romanzo di culto del genere horror per ragazzi, La stanza 13 è una tappa obbligatoria che ho saltato durante l’infanzia e mi sono ritrovata a recuperare sulla soglia dei 30 anni. Bene ma non benissimo, mi dicono dalla regia. La lettura è scorrevole, adatta anche a ragazzi e ragazze che masticano pochi libri (133 pagine che si divorano in un attimo!). L'ambientazione è perfettamente in linea con il genere: il fascino del North Yorkshire, delle abbazie e dei ruderi mette voglia di partire all'avventura per scoprire i luoghi e le leggende che fanno da sfondo alla storia. I love the writing. I love the vivid descriptions of Whitby. Without harping on and saying too much, Swindells captures that coast beautifully.
